- Title
Downing Scalpels and Stethoscopes: The 2003 South Canterbury Senior Doctors' Strike and the Challenges facing their Union.
- Authors
POWELL, IAN
- Abstract
South Canterbury senior doctors conducted unprecedented strike actions during 2003. The negotiations and strike actions provide important insights to the employment relations climate in the health sector and illustrate various union strategies to gain member and public support for the doctors' position. The strike actions were part of a decentralised, single employer collective bargaining pattern which localised employment conditions and collective action. This bargaining pattern has subsequently been abandoned for a national collective employment agreement.
